>Katsura Hashino: So let’s say if Tolkien (The Lord of the Rings writer, J. R. R. Tolkien) were still around today, what kind of fantasy world would he make after having seen the modern world, and what would it have? And that’s what we’re doing, so instead of looking back at other fantasy games we’ve had until now and going from there, we’re starting from zero.
>Guillaume Broche: Hahaha JRPG goes brrrrrrr
What went wrong fatlusbros? Our game is supposed to be the best of the best

ban steam charts threads

>"We're starting from zero"
>Game is a mashup of other Atlus games with a bunch of references to them

meta4 is pseud
if not for art style and designs itd be bottm of the barrel

>>713226936 (OP)
why would you not look back at what lead up to that point if that's your goal? tolkien's writing was deeply influenced by centuries of literary tradition, from dunsarny to the anglo-saxons

Japanese physically, spiritually, intellectually and emotionally CANNOT comprehend Tolkien.

Why did Japanese game's glory tremble in 2025 so soon when they used to make lots of great games in 2024, when Western games were suffering? No Jap game have metascore over 90 this year... only kusoge like Yumia, nightreing, wilds in Japan this year while Western games revive in glory like oblivion remake, doom darkage, kingdom coom 2 and expedition 33...
How can thing get flipped so soon? Japanese game was great while western game suffers in 2024, but Japanese game is dead and Western game rises in 2025.
Japan used to make great games like Persona 5, Nier Automata, Dark souls 3, Sekiro, BoTW, Xenoblade 2, MHW, RE7, FE3H, RE4R, Ryza 1-3, SF6, Mario wonder, pikmin 4, Elden ring, Unicorn overlord, Like a dragon 7, Asstro bot, metaphor since 2017, but how can they fall so soon this year and get mogged by Chinese black ships like genshin, starrail, ZZZ, WuWa, Wukong, Lost soul aside, Phantom blade zero,
Korean black ship Like Khazan and Lies of P, and French black ship like expedition 33 and Asscreed shadow?

Why did Japanese game which was glorious in 2024 tremble so easily?
No Japanese game this year got metascore over 90. Wilds, Yumia, Nightreign,Mario kart world shows Japanese game's absolute fall this year.
While Western game was suffering this last year. But it became opposite this year with western games resurrecting by kingdom coom 2, doom dark age,expedition 33, man.

And switch 2 was nailed coffin on Japanese game due to fuckin' price and keycard, wahoo!
What is left in Japan now?
Anime? Solo leveling was AOTS last year, and China makes them better, to be hero X and nezha.
Comics? Korean webtoon makes them better.
Entertainment? Korea makes them better.
Car? Electricity? Korea and China makes them better,Hyundai and BYD.
Subculture? BA has 2K comicket booth.
Toy? Korean combination robot toy and Tinyping are superior.
Japan is NOTHING!!
Was Phil Fish right again? He is french too. Is Japanese game dead and even switch 2 cannot save Japanese game?
